Abstract

This chapter decolonizes postgraduate education by challenging the Eurocentric paradigm in academia. It highlights the importance of indigenous African spirituality in shaping African philosophy, culture, art, and daily life. The chapter advocates for its inclusion in South African higher education institutions, highlighting its potential impact on the inner self, and physical health, and fostering a society that values diversity. It also highlights its potential in healthcare, environmental protection, and social justice.
